politics is their religion

Just a question begged by your comment.

…is the fact that it’s in violation of the 10th amendment. Sadly, that amendment was all but formally nullified by our government.years ago and seems to carry no weight today.

For other ignored amendments, see the 4th the 2nd. The first isn’t far behind either.

Don’t forget that our president, who studied and TAUGHT the Constitution, isn’t very fond of it. We may be in for more “change” than the voters bargained for.

Poor saps. Some of ‘em were suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome. Others just wanted a black guy to make history, nevermind his policy positions. And the majority seem to think the president has total control over the economy. That last theory is what may ultimately do Obama in come 2012. A recent link on Drudge shows that CBO believes this “porkulous” bill will slow GDP by up to .3% by 2019: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/04/cbo-obama-stimulus-harmful-over-long-haul/

Don’t just call these three. Call your own Senator. Even (or especially) if they are Ds. Those people need to sweat bullets.

Ds may yet back down if their constituents rise up. They all want to be re-elected more than they want The One™ to succeed. And I promise you, they don’t give a flying rat’s rear end about this particular crap sandwich. They are voting for it because it’s a party vote. Put some pressure on them from the other side.

If nothing else, we can see them squirm and sweat.

Proper grammar saves lives.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

when his leftist demagoguery peaked:

“Above all, a Supreme Court Justice must be fair, but in a lifetime of writings on the public record, Mr. Bork has shown his bias against women and minorities and in favor of big business and Presidential power. And it’s small comfort to minorities to know that some years after the Civil Rights Act was passed over his opposition, Mr. Bork changed his mind and said that it had worked all right.

But if you had had your way, Mr. Bork, no one would ever have known how the Civil Rights Act would work.”

and who knows what they would say today about fiscal policy (apart from Reagan – we know what Reagan would say).

TR especially I’m not sure about. He led the Progressive wing of the party for heaven’s sake. And his view of federal power was not exactly in keeping with limited govt.

…when the Democrats are right there with waiting arms. We didn’t kick Lieberman out of the caucus even when he campaigned for McCain! We’ll take anyone!

I meant Collins and Specter.
Still…no big fan of Snowe.She needs to turn in her (R).

“brian” tumor?

but here goes. You sound young and liberal. The only reason we know who Teddy Kennedy is he had a rich father who got his favorite son (second favorite son according to reports), Teddy’s brother, elected President. Who was tragically assasinated and then then had another brother assasinated while running for Pres.

With all of that said that; that is the extent of his qualifications to be a senator and the only reason you know who he is.

…putting aside the Schiavo comparison, Kennedy (and Byrd for that matter) ought to resign. If you’re doing it right the Senate should be a lot of work.

http://cancer-types.suite101.com/article.cfm/signs_and_symptoms_of_gliomas

Senator Edward Kennedy’s recent diagnosis–glioblastoma multiforme–has raised awareness of intracranial malignancies.

Signs and Symptoms of Gliomas

Many signs and symptoms from brain tumors result from increased pressure within the rigid skull, which does not allow the brain to expand significantly as a tumor grows. Other symptoms are secondary to effects upon nearby structures and inflammation associated with malignant invasion.

Headache (often worse upon awakening from deep sleep) is the most common symptom. Vomiting may accompany headache

Deterioration in mental status (lethargy, personality changes, combative or aggressive behavior, impaired cognition, etc.)

Memory loss

Generalized or focal seizures (new onset)
Impairment of motion or sensation in a body region; often unilateral

Difficulty walking

Hearing loss

Visual field defects or loss of vision

Vertigo

Acquired inability to smell

Tremor

Nystagmus

Urinary urgency or incontinence

Difficulty speaking or understanding what others are saying

Excessive thirst or appetite

Inappropriate denial of illness, injury or bodily defects

Visual hallucinations

Many signs and symptoms of gliomas mimic other medical or psychiatric entities. Neurological symptoms that cannot be readily explained (e.g., ataxia from alcohol use or hallucinations secondary to substance abuse) must be promptly investigated.

Again, I promise I am not trying to be mean – but if the vote comes down to Kennedy and I am thinking possibly he possibly might not need to vote???

I think I’m over my quota of commenting here for the day. However, at the risk of punishment for trangressing that I just have to say that people who are in such doubt over America’s strength, who phrase their dissent in this manner, make me livid. Absolutely livid.

These political arguments and battles — no matter how costly or crazy — are nothing compared to what this country has already been through and will go through again.

History is a great guide for what America can make it through. Buck up and stop being so pessimistic about the imperfect, flawed, best ever country that made you. There are countless people around the world who wish every day that they had our problems.

The federal government, the fraudulent fractional-reserve banking system, the fiat dollar are all driving off a cliff at 95 mph; but that does not mean America is doomed. Our country is not equivalent to it’s government. We are more than our government, and what binds us together (faith, family, community) will only grow stronger as our oppressive government flounders and fails.

I would more accurately say:

The day the federal governement shredded its last threads of credibility.

As far as needing Kennedy – if one of the three RINO’s backs out (which would remove them for that moment from being a RINO) then they would need his vote. It is just cruel to drag that sick man out just because they are so greedy and stubborn.

so that the public will cling to it like there’s no tomorrow.

Where is now the HOPE and CHANGE that killed FEAR and MORE OF THE SAME?

Obama’s Stimulus Package is now beginning to look like a Blackmail Bill.
